Here you will have time to take a short stroll and take some pictures. This beach is know as the bedroom for the Hawaiian green sea turtles, AKA Honus.

A truly wonderful experience! Coco Maria was great, providing current info about the island as well as historic and geological info, making an educational trip as well as awesome sight seeing. I'll do the tour again when I return, and I highly recommend a tour with Coco to everyone visiting this island paradise. She points out the little things one might miss.

What a great day with Coco - very fun, personable, authentic, and knowledgeable! Had a nice small group (just 3 of us) and Coco was a fantastic guide through all of it. She had lots of great recos for the rest of the my trip, and plenty of stops for great photo ops along the tour. Highly recommended! Thanks, Coco!

This was a great introduction to the island of Kauai that a friend and I took at the beginning of my vacation. The tour guide was a local who could provide history, insights and tips beyond the typical tour book! He was patient and flexible in adjusting to our interests and needs. For example, we like buying local for souvenirs. He found a shop with handmade jewelry for my friend and a studio with art prints for me. It was a great experience!

Coco Maria is Ohana! She is so knowledgeable and provided such an engaging tour of Kauai. You could tell there was a lot of thought and time put into crafting such an amazing excursion. Coco gave us great recommendations for food and attractions. She was also our good luck charm; between the sea turtle, monk seal, a beautiful sunny day, and yummy food, so many memories were captured and made. Thank you, Coco, for giving us another great day on the beautiful island of Kauai. We highly recommend Coco as your personal tour guide. Get ready to have an amazing time!

Clarence Y

Our tour guide, “Coco” was awesome and the experience felt more like it was led by a family member instead of a tour guide. Coco was very knowledgeable and personable, which made for a wonderful and fun filled day on the island. I highly recommend this full day excursion!🤙🏾

Karen_W

Coco was the best guide, she was funny and very informative, and took us to great places all around Kauai. I highly recommend this excursion!

CynthiaS_S

Communicating with Coco was so easy! Instructions were clear and direct. The folks who shared the tour with us were lively and quick-witted... It's our impression that a FUN time was had by ALL! Coco has lived on Kauai for 25 years. The TOUR covered great sites of interest, such as the Tree Tunnel, Spouting Horn, and Waimea Canyon. Coco was quite knowledgeable about the area's history, and we loved her stories associated with the folklore of Kauai. My favorite stop was Hanapepe Town. The "step-back-in-time" was a refreshing reminder of simpler, more friendly days and customs. We also enjoyed our last stop at the Kauai Coffee Plantation. Mmmmmm... the smell and taste of freshly roasted coffee... YUMMY!! Thanks, Coco, for a wonderful, interesting, laugh-filled day. "Uncle" John was a HOOT! We hope to see you again...

Lora W

We literally stumbled on this excursion and can only say “WOW” to Coco’s tour. She was terrific and made our day spectacular!!!🤙

We did the Mountain Tubing through canals and tunnels and had such a good time. Staff was great, equipment of tube, helmet, head light, and gloves was quality and at times it was calm lazy River floating but most of time it was exciting and so much fun. They take you to backcountry in open air vehicles, you tube to the exit point where you are picked up and taken to picnic area where they have food, water, and comfort facilities for you. Then they take you back to town. Totally recommend this tour!

Janis_K

Coco Maria was an excellent guide on the Kauai Highlights Small Group Tour.. Coco has a wealth of knowledgeable of the Kauai island, kept thing interesting, and gave us plenty of time to explore at each stop along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to get an overview of the island of Kauai and then come back to a particular area to explore further on your own.
